Good old days when we had iranians in bundesliga

They turned to be the anti Iranian league : no iranian players and no strong interest on them for age. I don't count dejagah and Nouri who are considered Germans.
At least, recently :
EPL has JB and championship had several Iranian players
Osasuna had 3 iranians and Ghoddos was near to sign with huesca. Grenada seems to show interest in Mohebi
Italy showed strong interest in Azmoun (first lazio now napoli)
France has Ghoddos (two others r French clubs were after him) and Bordeaux was close to get Taremi

Its because they benefitted much more from South Koreans and Japanese players that are infinitely easier to sign and have added financial incentive

Our players don't fit the style of football in the Bundesliga which is a fast-paced league nowadays.

[Leicester City]

So I was watching the Bayern Munich match today and they were playing their defensive line waaaaayyyy too high, against weaker opposition this won't matter, however against stronger sides that can exploit that can be very risky.

Also the passing statistics for Bayern were very low than what they usually are (today it was 80% or something while on other days it's around 90%) but that can be excused for that fact that teams have not been playing friendlies due to COVID-19 and players were mostly doing individual trainings for the majority of the time in contrast to group excerises or drills.

their defensive line was high because they were playing a team that was parking the bus. Having a lower defensive line while trying to break through such a low block is counter productive and pretty stupid. Obviously the line will change at different points in matches, and will be set to start with based on the style they think opposition will adopt.

Bayern have shown to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in europe since Hansi flick became head coach. Alaba at CB has been a revelation, as well as Davies at LB (although he has contributed in more of an offensive sense)

Right - so against weaker opposition this shouldn't matter (as they would be the ones usually who'd park the bus/be defensively compact) which was the right thing to do in this match although credit to Union Berlin as they been pretty decent this season so far and are closer to European Football than they are relegation. I know they won't play this style against bigger teams nor have they done so, I just meant it in a hypothetical scenario - not that they would do this.

As for indiviual players, Davies was my man of the match in that game. I saw a stat somewhere showing 33 km/hr in that match along with covering plenty of ground, tracking back, or blocking goal scoring oppurtunities. He has really been outstanding this year (most notably against Chelsea in Bayern's 3-0 victory). Alaba at CB was an interesting idea as well. Like I said though, most teams are not playing their best football yet as a team due to the pandemic which can improve.

Bayern tends to buy players that can play more than one position.

They've used alaba in multiple positions, and Javi martinez switched between DM and CB many times as well.

Same goes for kimmich and muller, they switch positions depending on the game


That Davies kid is an absolute rocket. I think he might be one of the best if he stays away from injuries because hes so damn young.

HERTHA BERLIN!!!

They completely dominated the Berlin Derby (yes I know it's not really a "derby" per se however it has the potential of turning into one). Hertha allowed 0 shots on target from Union! I have to point out Vedad Ibišević great preformance for his age, he is 35 and about to be 36 in less than 3 months. Totally dominated that match and got the MOTM with a goal, an assist, and a really beautiful pass at 51' to unleash Lukebakio with a tighty finish for the 2nd, what a beast! Also don't sleep on Matheus Cunha, who is very underrated IMO. Of course it's still way too early to say but under their new manager Hertha are showing promising signs. I know some will not like this opinion but it was clear that Nouri needed to leave and is not a is very overrated/good manager at least for Bundesliga standards, besides the short run of games he had with Bremen he did not look too promising otherwise.

I also appreciate how Hertha keeps retains most of their players, go back 2-3 years and you will still see majority of players left in the squad which is always good thing in terms of their loyalty/devotion to players.
